Book Melanie Lynskey
Melanie Lynskey is a New Zealand actress celebrated for layered portraits of complicated women and a flawless command of American accents. She broke through as a teenager playing Pauline Parker in Heavenly Creatures (1994) and built a reputation as a supremely dependable character actor, with turns in Ever After (1998), Detroit Rock City (1999), Coyote Ugly (2000), Sweet Home Alabama (2002), Flags of Our Fathers (2006) and Don't Look Up (2021). Her lead in Hello I Must Be Going (2012) marked a turning point, followed by starring roles such as The Intervention (2016) that made her a fixture of independent film. Television fans know her as Rose on Two and a Half Men and from Mrs. America (2020). Her current signature role is Shauna on Yellowjackets, which began in 2021 and won her the Critics' Choice Award for Best Actress in 2022 and two Primetime Emmy nominations, and her work on the first season of The Last of Us (2023) brought another Emmy nod. In total she holds three Critics' Choice Awards. Lynskey brings candor, humor and real depth to a conversation.
